Authorities said it started with a routine motor vehicle stop on Route 28 in Salem on Saturday. Police said Monbleau took off and eventually got onto Interstate 93 before getting off again at exit 1.

During the pursuit, police received a call that the vehicle Monbleau was driving was stolen, investigators said.

An officer tried to put stop sticks in the road to puncture Monbleau's tires on the access road off exit 1, police said. Authorities said Monbleau drove his car at the officer who was placing the spikes in the road, forcing the officer to jump out of the way.

Police said the pursuit continued north of Route 28 into the parking lot of Heavenly Donuts, where Monbleau is accused of ramming a police cruiser trying to get back onto the road.

A second cruiser pinned Monbleau's car against a utility police, and he was taken into custody after a brief struggle, police said.

In court, prosecutors said they believe Monbleau was trying to take heroin during the chase. He is also facing also drug charges.
